I have a 4x4 Slash running 10/40 or 9/40 mod one gears...3s 6000mah lipo...
My VXL esc keeps over heating no matter what gearing I run. My friend Brushless Boy (Ben) has suggested putting capacitors on the power leads to control the voltage ripples from my hard driving style...

I am on a very tight budget due to a little one on the way so I have to work with what I have at the moment...

Any thoughts???
